209: Chapter 209 Anomaly, I've Found You.

A few days later.

Sanctuary.

In a certain part of the Void Realm, the space twisted, and Li Qing emerged.

He stretched lazily, then his ears twitched as he looked deep into the Void Realm.

"Oh? Gu Beichen actually found Empyrean Hongchen."

Currently, Li Qing was a half-step Great Heavenly Venerable.

Even the Heavenly Dao was only a Peak Great Heavenly Venerable.

Li Qing took a step forward, and the Void Realm rippled like water as he submerged into it and vanished.

Deep within the Void Realm.

A Small World had been shattered.

A beautiful woman in red was lying prone in the void, a trickle of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth.

Gu Beichen stood not far away, looking at her with greed in his eyes.

He had been inexplicably teleported here.

And happened to see the heavily injured woman in red.

"If you dare touch me..."

"I will surely kill you."

The woman in red glared at Gu Beichen.

Heavenly Dao...

Even if I die...

I won't let you have your way.

"Hehe, this is the depths of the Void Realm. Even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will hear you..."

*Bang.*

Suddenly, a large foot kicked Gu Beichen in the back, sending him flying.

Gu Beichen: "..."

The woman in red: "..."

Gu Beichen's body twisted in the void as he turned around. The moment he saw the person who kicked him, he froze for a second, then his eyes filled with sky-high rage.

"Li Qing!"

Gu Beichen was absolutely furious.

Why was he everywhere?

"Little Gu, it's time for you to leave."

Li Qing smiled faintly.

Gu Beichen: "..."

Li Qing suddenly flicked his finger. A thumb-sized phantom of a Chaos Green Lotus pierced through the void, instantly sinking into Gu Beichen's body and exiting through his back.

*Bang.*

A large hole exploded in his chest, and a rift was torn in the void behind him. Gu Beichen was sucked directly into it and vanished.

Inside that rift was an unfamiliar starry sky.

"Little Gu, don't let me down."

"I'm starting a whole new plot for you."

Li Qing smiled faintly.

*Rumble.*

The nearby Void Realm began to collapse, and a pair of cold eyes slowly emerged.

*Swish.*

Li Qing immediately summoned the Starlight Small World, sucking both himself and the woman in red inside.

Then, the Starlight Small World vanished completely.

"Anomaly."

A cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Inside the Starlight Small World.

The woman in red looked at Empyrean Wanxiang with a look of pleasant surprise.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"I am my husband's wife, so of course I am here."

Empyrean Wanxiang quickly helped the woman in red up and checked her injuries.

"Sister, come with me."

Empyrean Wanxiang pulled the woman in red and flew into an immortal palace.

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Damiao and Heavenly Venerable Miaoxuan were looking at Li Qing; the former was gritting her teeth.

They had sensed a strange woman entering immediately and came to investigate.

"I just went out and happened to run into the Heavenly Dao plotting against her, leaving her heavily injured."

"So I saved her."

Li Qing whispered.

"A hero saving a beauty, huh?"

Heavenly Venerable Damiao glared fiercely at Li Qing.

Li Qing: "..."

"Follow me."

Heavenly Venerable Damiao pulled Li Qing and flew into the immortal palace.

A few days later.

The woman in red, who was Empyrean Hongchen, was smoothing the wrinkles on Li Qing's clothes in a guest room.

After Empyrean Wanxiang explained her own situation, she chose to undergo Dao Union and Dual Cultivation with Li Qing, thwarting the Heavenly Dao's scheme.

Li Qing stayed in the Starlight Small World for a few more days before leaving.

Sanctuary.

Near a mountain Peak, Li Qing appeared out of thin air.

As soon as he appeared, the nearby sky twisted strangely, and space began to stretch rapidly, placing him deep within the Void Realm.

A Woman in Green stood with her hands behind her back, her back turned to Li Qing.

"Anomaly."

"I've finally found you."

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the void.

"Heavenly Dao."

"We finally meet."

Li Qing smiled faintly.

"You ruined my plans."

"You deserve to die."

The Woman in Green suddenly turned her head, revealing a face of peerless beauty to Li Qing. Her star-like eyes erupted with brilliant dao markings.

"Execute."

A murderous aura filled the world as time, space, and the Great Dao itself blasted toward Li Qing.

"Break."

Li Qing lightly uttered a single word.

Time, space, and the Great Dao instantly collapsed.

"Great Heavenly Venerable."

A ripple finally appeared in the Woman in Green's cold eyes.

[Thanks to you, I have become a Great Heavenly Venerable.]

[I don't know what's so good about Gu Beichen.]

[You insisted on supporting him and wanted to undergo Dao Union and Dual Cultivation with him.]

[In the end, you were refined by his Sacrificial Dao Transformation Spring Technique and became his Dual Cultivation Puppet.]

[It was truly a miserable sight.]

This voice...

Heart voice?

Wait.

Sacrificial Dao Transformation Spring Technique?

Sacrificial Dao?

The Woman in Green's pupils constricted slightly in her cold eyes.

She suddenly began to perform a divination with her fingers.

But she calculated nothing.

[She's trying to calculate where Gu Beichen is.]

[You won't be able to find him; I kicked him into the Extraterrestrial starry sky.]

[That place is not under your jurisdiction.]

[You can't calculate the Sacrificial Dao Transformation Spring Technique either.]

[Because Gu Beichen is not your pawn.]

[You are merely the Heavenly Dao of this great world.]

[Above you, there is the hongmeng heavenly dao.]

[You nurtured Gu Beichen only to undergo Dao Union with him to become the hongmeng heavenly dao.]

[Unfortunately, not only did you fail, but you also ended up sacrificing yourself.]

What?

Gu Beichen is a pawn of the hongmeng heavenly dao?

I was plotted against.

Grandmist...

You are truly despicable.

The Woman in Green's eyes turned cold.

Then Li Qing took a step forward, appearing in front of the Woman in Green and looking at her.

"Let's undergo Dao Union."

"I can help you break through to the Grandmist level."

Li Qing smiled faintly.

"You?"

The Woman in Green's brow furrowed slightly.

Li Qing reached out his hand, and Chaos Qi emerged in his palm. A thirty-six-petaled green lotus appeared, with the Great Dao of the heavens manifesting within it.

"Chaos Green Lotus."

"A mature Chaos Green Lotus."

A hint of surprise finally appeared on the Woman in Green's cold face.

"Fine."

"I will undergo Dao Union and Dual Cultivation with you."

The Woman in Green said coldly.

"But I've changed my mind now."

"I don't want to deal with you."

Li Qing smiled faintly and put away the Chaos Green Lotus.

"Why?"

"Is it because I'm not beautiful enough? Not attractive enough for you?"

"I can change."

"Whatever type you like, I can transform into it."

The Woman in Green's brow furrowed slightly.

"No, you are very beautiful."

"But I just don't like you."

Li Qing laughed, then took a step and vanished into the depths of the Void Realm.

"Wait!"

The Woman in Green took a step and quickly followed.

Li Qing instantly appeared in the sky above the Sanctuary, then with another flash, he appeared atop a giant mountain Peak.

He waved his sleeve.

A white jade table appeared nearby, set with a white jade wine pot and several cups.

Li Qing sat directly at the table.

Then, the Woman in Green appeared before Li Qing without warning.

"What will it take for you to be willing to undergo Dao Union and Dual Cultivation with me?"

The Woman in Green said coldly.

"Pour the wine."

Li Qing said indifferently.

The Woman in Green glanced at Li Qing, knelt before him, and poured him wine.

"Come into my arms."

Without the slightest hesitation, the Woman in Green went directly into Li Qing's arms.

"Look."

"You are too cold."

Li Qing said indifferently.

"Is cold not good?"

"It seems you haven't tried the icy-cold type before."

The Woman in Green said coldly.

Li Qing: "..."

[It seems that's true.]

"Well... let's find a place."

"We should properly study what the difference between 'ice' and 'cold' really is."

"Fine."

The Woman in Green said coldly.
